Diluted means that it has water added to it to make it less strong. Rubbing alcohol is a very strong, undrinkable kind of alcohol used largely for medicinal purposes. It is called rubbing alcohol because it was originally intended for rubbing on skin. This is the American English name. In the UK, it's called surgical spirit.
